Samsung Philippines has an ongoing 20th anniversary promotion with the Galaxy A6 and Galaxy J6, which they currently offer with Php2,000 discount. However, it seems that the main reason lower SRPs is that a new handset is arriving soon in the local market that might occupy the A6 and J6 original price point, the Samsung Galaxy J8.

The Samsung Galaxy J8 is now listed on the website of Samsung PH. It sports a huge 6-inch Super AMOLED display with HD+ resolution, 18.5:9 aspect ratio, and no notch. On the inside, the Korean manufacturer ditches its own Exynos chip in favor of 1.8GHz octa core Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 SoC. The same chipset that powers the Galaxy A6+ and Vivo V7+. It comes with 3GB of RAM for multitasking, and 32GB of internal storage, wherein 22.3GB is available to the user.
